AgWeb posted an article this week from Ben Potter on how standing water in the fields can affect young corn plants.  While parts of the Southeast are in drought, many areas of southern Georgia and Alabama have experienced a lot of rain and some fields are quite wet.  Corn is especially susceptible to problems if flooding occurs early in the life cycle of the plants, but is more tolerant of wet conditions later in the season.
